My entire harvest/trim is done in mostly 1 sitting. I chop the plants, take off all the large fan leaves which i compost, and sugar leaves which I then dry for 1 day then store for hash making in freezer, sometimes i dry it longer for BHO. My buds are dried in a closet with 30-45% humidity and a 400CFM vent fan going at all times. The large buds are hung from wire and the small buds are put onto a white mesh drying rack I have made of some sort of synthetic fiber, somehow crystals dont stick to it. All the buds could be hung, but it take forever. After around only 5-7 days! with my crazy low humidity my buds are dry and stems crack and etc.. So I put the buds in regular wide mouth mason jars so they are air tight (important). Make sure you burp/open the jars everyday for atleast 5 minutes ussually I do it several times a day for the first week. Then once a day for 3 weeks or so. I got 7.2 oz dry off 3 Sativas in 5 gal buckets. After 3 weeks of jar cure its really ready to smoke.
